Hi Folks. I haven't posted in a long time but have a question about statins.

About 4 months ago my cardiologist put me on 50 mg of pravastatin because he felt my cholesterol was borderline. Keep in mind that my cholesterol has always been that way for the past 10-15 years and which my primary doctor has always told me just to watch my diet and exercise. It was my first trip to see the cardiologist.

My PN started almost 16 years ago and I have been controling it with meds, supplements and water aerobics. But lately, the pain/burning in my heals and soles has become much worse. I kind of blamed it on the demolition of my bathroom which agravated my low back and usually seems to work in unison with the PN.

But now I'm beginning to wonder if the pravastatin could be part of the problem? Also, if I must stay on the statin, I assume I should be taking CoQ10, which I have not been doing at this point.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
